Coming up on Te Karere... she's been found guilty of smuggling contraband she's been found guilty of smuggling contraband to a convicted rapist and murderer in prison - so what now for Maori lawyer Davina Murray? But as she found out, the Housing NZ dream home ended up becoming a nightmare. It looks like you'll be able to please yourself on whether to use the English or Maori names for our two main islands. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. A lawyer who defended herself against charges of smuggling contraband to a convicted rapist and murderer in prison has been found guilty. Davina Murray tried to argue that prison guards planted evidence against her, but in a written decision, the judge said that was implausible. Tina Wickliffe looks at the bizarre twists and turns of the seven day hearing. Convicted rapist and murderer Liam Reid is the man lawyer Davina Murray has been found guilty of smuggling an iPhone and cigarettes to. Today Judge Russell Collins rejected Murray's defence that the items were planted on Reid who's serving a 26 year sentence for the rape and murder of Christchurch woman Emily Agnew. In his written ruling, Judge Collins said there was no evidence of a conspiracy between the guards. Judge Collins also took the opportunity to scold Murray's often bizarre approach to defending herself which included: Emailing demands to the registry, including demands of the Judge. Talking over witnesses and the Judge. Turning to the media benches, laughing, grinning while the judge was addressing her. Lateness to court. In one of the more extraordinary moments of the trial, the court heard details of the romantic relationship between lawyer and client. In texts to a friend, Murray said of Reid... Murray has been remanded on bail until September 6 when a discharge without conviction application will be heard. Tina Wickliffe, Te Karere. It looks like you'll be able to please yourself on whether to use the English or Maori names for our two main islands. That's the recommendation from the NZ Geographic Board, which is now passing the information to the Land Information Minister. It follows a period of public consultation on the island names; North, South, Te Ika-a-Maui and Te Waipounamu. The board will now along with submissions, will be sent to Maurice Williamson for his final determination. Once that decision is made, it will be publicly notified. New research by the Child Poverty Action Group reveals the areas where there have been the highest proven cases of child abuse. The highest areas are Papakura, Auckland, Whakatane, but Whangarei and the Far North also feature in the top ten areas. Taupo and Rotorua are also placed in the top ten which could reflect high rates of poverty in rural areas. Across the country, Maori children were abused at a rate higher than expected. Joining us from Wellington is the Tai Tokerau MP and Mana Party leader Hone Harawira. Tena koe Hone. New research from the Child Poverty Action Group shows that the Far North is one of the worst areas for child abuse - your thoughts? We're unable to provide subtitles. Hone Harawira, thank you for joining us. After the break, The MPs are back in the house today hashing out three Treaty settlement bills. But as she found out, the Housing NZ dream home ended up becoming a nightmare. Buck Shelford. Buck Shelford. Hi. You're here for the heart and diabetes TV ad? You're here for the heart and diabetes TV ad? Yeah. Of course. Of course. What do you mean? Well, heart disease and diabetes kill more than 6000 Kiwis every year. I know. I know. So, I'm a woman ` fat and funny ` and you're a... ex-All Black ` not so funny. So? So? So we've got all of the demographics covered. Not all of them. Not all of them. Oh, hey, guys. Not all of them. Oh, hey, guys. Boom. PEOPLE CHATTER The MPs are back in the house today hashing out three Treaty settlement bills. The first reading began at 9am and the MPs would like to get the claims out of the way as soon as possible. There is nothing quite so sweet to ones ears as the first reading of the bill. Nor was there anything more important than tying the claim together and tying all the claimants together. The bill will provide redress between 13 iwi and hapu in the Auckland area which includes interests in volcanic cones and other regional assets. Add to that the settlement of Maungaharuru a Tangitu hapu from the Hawkes Bay. Nor will the minister shy away from the fact this settlement process is not an easy road to travel, but by discussing the issue, they can figure out whether $23mil in compensation is the way to go. How can parliament sort everything out? They can't. The bill is the Te Arawa Geothermal claim and the difficulty dealing with this bill hasn't gone amiss. Their respective enabling bills now go to select committees for further consideration. Tini Molyneux, Te Karere. A Mangere resident is pointing the finger at the Housing Corporation claiming they're responsible for the deteriorating state of her health. But Housing New Zealand is standing their ground saying maintenance and repairs have been addressed promptly and are up to standard. Dilly has lived in her Mangere home for 2 years after been placed here by Housing NZ. Problems like the bathroom framing which she says has prevented her and her family from having showers for a week. But she's a lady of high expectations when it comes to her home. She told me she'd like lino on her washhouse floor, the graffiti painted over and some locks on the windows for extra security. She's even delved in to her own pockets to install an alarm system for her comfort and safety. We contacted Housing NZ who have said in a statement today. But then, even Dilly admits Housing NZ have come to the party, and promptly. Dilly has called again since we spoke to say Housing Corp have hired her a motel room for the moment until her bathroom is repaired. Peata Melbourne, Te Karere. Prime Minister John Key is still copping it over a media leak and the GCSB bill. He visited Rotorua Boys' High School today. The Prime Minister wasn't at Parliament for the GCSB Bill today, he was in Rotorua. But he couldn't avoid the questions at Rotorua Boys' High School this morning. He was welcomed with song. Then it wasn't long before the questions were fired. Most in regarding very topical issues. For most of these boys, talking to the PM is a first. Some even challenged him on the GCSB bill. But the PM didn't budge. As you may see, 70% of the school's pupils are Maori, and many are interested in the issues that concern Maori such as oil drilling. An issues that this boy will uphold in time, but for today, they took the Prime Minister's word for it. He's an accomplished speaker, and as the saying goes, words are the leader's ambrosia. Time will tell just who'll follow in his footsteps. Kereama Wright, Te Karere. After the break, We have footage of the haka performed by Ngati Porou and Waikato at the Ranfurly Shield final in Ruatoria, and we have the weather. 50s male. Severe chest pain. Massive cardiac arrest. 50s male. Severe chest pain. Massive cardiac arrest. Get Cardiology down here now. We're losing him. We're losing him. He's flatlining. We're losing him. He's flatlining. Oh my God. What? What? It's Buck Shelford. Heart disease and diabetes kill more than 6000 Kiwis every year. That's why I had a check-up with my doctor. It was quick and easy. Oh, it's OK. I'm not having a real heart attack. That's good, Buck, cos I'm not a real doctor. That's good, Buck, cos I'm not a real doctor. WHEELS SQUEAK Get a heart and diabetes check ` do it for your family. To the weather now. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz. Let's take another look at today's top stories. She's been proven guilty of smuggling prohibited items into prison to give to a convicted rapist and murderer. It's now officially up to you whether you use the Maori or English names for the North and South islands, according to the New Zealand Geographic Board, and they've submitted their recommendation to the Minister of Land Information. Papakura, Auckland and Whakatane have rated highest in the child abuse statistics according to the Child Poverty Action Group. That's all we have for today.
